'NY Times': Angelina Makes 'Wanted'
INFDaily

Wow, nothing gets past the New York Times.

The paper's Friday edition carried a review of the Angelina Jolie-James McAvoy action-thriller Wanted and concluded that Angie is pretty much the only reason to check out the flick. 

Reviewer Mahnola Dargis opines that director Timur Bekmambetov has "nothing else going for [his] big Hollywood debut except Ms. Jolie and a couple of ideas recycled from The Matrix and Fight Club."

As if anything could be better than that.

Quotables /
“Angelina Jolie will bring boys to their knees in her new action thriller "Wanted," according to a movie critic for the New York Times.

Manohla Dargis says, “Ms. Jolie has been perfectly cast as a super-scary, seemingly amoral assassin named (wait for it) Fox. Few American actresses, especially those with such pin-skinny arms, can make beating a guy to the ground look so easy and, yeah, man, like fun. With her mean smiley-sneer and snug clothes, her heels and hieroglyphics, she cuts the kind of disciplinarian figure who can bring antsy boys of all ages to their knees or at least into their theater seats.”

Wanted is out in theaters everywhere today!!! James McAvoy and Morgan Freeman costars.

FYI: Sources tell the "Daily News" that contrary to denials, Angie has given birth to her twins. “They’re waiting till the babies are bigger and stronger before they allow anyone to take their picture,” a source told the paper.”

“The "New York Times" says that "Wanted" is your typical MatrixyFightyClub jerk-off fest (god, I need to see this) but Angelia Jolie steals the show. Of course she does. She's Angelina Jolie. It's the lips and the tats and the feeling that she could either pull massage oil out of her purse or a machete.

"With her mean smiley-sneer and snug clothes, her heels and hieroglyphics, she cuts the kind of disciplinarian figure who can bring antsy boys of all ages to their knees or at least into their theater seats," the review says. Ooh, I think I need a ciggy.

As for the rest of the movie?

"Things happen in Wanted but no one cares. You could call that nihilism, but even nihilism requires commitment of a kind and this, by contrast, is a movie built on indifference."

Don't care. Summer movie. Still need to see it. I need help.

“Smith must stay away from the Spider-Man actress, her home, her assistant and her places of work. The 25-year-old Smith had made repeated attempts to gain access to her house and was originally charged with trespassing.”
